What are some of your favorite local multiplayer WiiU games? Besides Smash Bros U and Mario Kart 8, which are no brainers and I have spent hundreds of hours in.

4 players is better because I live in a place with at least 3 other people.

Competitive is better, but co-op is fine.

And of course, couch multiplayer is a must.

ZombiU, Sonic All Stars Racing Transformed, Black Ops II.

Mario Party 2
Mario Party DS (if you can play with people on DS)

Rayman Legends and 3D World are great for local multiplayer! Champion's Road with 4 players can be a damn nightmare!

No Smash OR Mario Kart 8?

Screw this.

Nintendo land.

Nintendoland
Affordable Space Adventures
Game+Wario (get it cheap though)
Wii Party U
Smash Bros.

Thats like saying the new Pokemon game is pointless because there are better RPGs on 3DS. Tis always nice to have more great games and variety... also its Sonic's only great game so you gotta give the guy a break and let him have this one

Multi
Game & Wario: Sketch (Pictionary) game was made for the Gamepad.

Super Mario 3D World: Multi 3D Land.

Co-op
Affordable Space Adventures:  3 players max that need to coordinate.
